It doesn’t matter, it simply goes off the final touch. That’s it. He was offside.

So if that's the case if a defender deflects the ball when a pass goes through, a forward is onside again?

Maybe, maybe not but it's quite simple, Aguero was in offside position when the ball was touched by Silva and thus penalised when he touched it himself.

Really harsh but thats the law, VAR got it right.

But got the handball wrong. If var is not 100 per cent conclusive. Scrap it

 

[Tin-Tin]

VAR has got a few calls right but also worked against teams as it still relies on the refs interpretation.

Some free kicks are given, some not. Some pens, some not and some dodgy handball and red card decisions. VAR will only work if the rules are consistent

It would be a sad day if either City or PSG win the CL.

Both dictator royal families want this trophy so bad to use it as a vehicle to promote and validate their human rights abusive regimes.

We certainly don't want anyone who destroys the club's local area and kicks people out their houses for half and half tourists either.

No if player was onside at start of the “action.”

But it didn't.

You might think the law should be changed so that it was ruled a foul but as the law stands now, it wasn't a deliberate handball using the law and the guidelines issued to refs to help determine if it was deliberate.

Even if you wanna argue against their interpretation of deliberate it's still not 100% wrong.

Money on him not playing either game.

Injured in training day before the 1st leg...

Nailed on. Liverpool will remain at full strength for every single game as they have been all season with zero sign of fatigue despite every player playing almost every game.

Looking at the fixtures, Liverpool got Newcastle away in the middle of a Barca sandwich all of a sudden doesn’t look that simple, could be a banana skin.

No chance Benitez derails their title charge mate

Fuming that Tottenham have gone through after what they pulled at Anfield.

It's actually a good thing, City will now hit 110% to win the league now whereas the RS have two hard games against Barcelona in the next few weeks (and relegation battling Cardiff as well). The chances of us being spared the Kopite apocalypse just went up massively.

What about the penalty United got against PSG. Was that deliberate. If the ball did not hit llorentes arm first it was not going in.

Draw with City on Saturday then roll over for Liverpool in Madrid. If this is the path they so choose, they will become my second most hated team.

Honestly don't understand it. If it is about any player touching the ball intentionally or not which happened before then if a forward player who was offside when played through but the defender then deflects the ball I am guessing they now become onside with this rule? As it would be no different to a defender passing it back to the goalkeeper and not seeing the forward. I just thought it had to be an intentional pass for it to be offside.
